An Alluvial Mine has been discovered within the grounds of Soul Food and it is opening for sturdy miners who know that to find creative gold you have to be prepared to dig deeply. These miners also know that there is gold to be found in the tailings and so they become expert gleaners who may find gold by taking a phrase and reworking it.

GLEANERS

Seed Lines: From the Poem “Dancing in Perpetuity” by Anna Chinappi. Posted on the Lemurian Abby Blog, Tuesday, May 24, 2005.

“She’s done with the dancing,no steps and moves left,”

April Night

She has the truth of my body the slim, supple, rounded limbs that flow so freely into movement.

She has the truth of my spirit a joy that knows no edges a heart that dances and dreams.

Bright, ethereal spark of dancing light she is the image of my other side,

That solid self once-upon when before time before the splintering shadows of pain.

She is the image of my body, my spirit my joy moving . . .

Moving . . .

I leave her at the studio door and a shadowed specter slowly walks awayeyes swimming with saltbody twined with pain.
